President Buhari Cannot Escape Death – JNI

The Jama’atu Nasril Islam, JNI, has said President Muhammadu Buhari cannot escape death as he is just but a mortal being.

The JNI noted that those spreading false rumours of Buhari’s illness and death were unpatriotic.

It described as callous, mischievous, those promoting false reports
that the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo was being pressured to resign.

In a statement by the General Secretary, Dr. Khalid Abubakar, JNI
said it was worried over the several rumours regarding the trip of the
President to the United Kingdom.

The statement reads: “JNI is indeed perturbed over the series of
rumours making the rounds on the state of President Muhammadu Buhari’s
health.

“It should be however noted that as with every mortal, illness is inevitable, likewise life and death.

“Thus, JNI is very concerned about the pandemonium generated as a
result of the rumoured illness of the President and the dimension it is
unfortunately taking.

“Those spreading the rumour will not live till eternity.

“We must as patriots, be cautioned on spreading inaccurate information.

“More so, Muslims should be cautioned not to join the bandwagon of rumour mongers.

“Nigerians should instead pray for the President’s safe return,
restoration of good health and the ability to continue with the task of
piloting Nigeria to greater heights with all those in the positions of
authority, for Allah’s guidance in the discharge of their respective
duties.

“We nonetheless, condemn in the strongest terms those calling for the
resignation of Professor Yomi Osinbajo, as the Vice President, Federal
Republic of Nigeria.

“Whatever, the intent may be, we see such calls as callous, mischievous and unpatriotic.

“Moreover, why must that vacuum be created now, if not for sinister motives?

“We therefore call on all Jumu’ah Imams to include the matter in
their respective Friday sermons tomorrow and beyond, because in prayers
we find consolation,” the statement added.
